The 1995 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 49th season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1995 Formula One World Championship for Drivers and the 1995 Formula One World Championship for Constructors, which were contested concurrently over a seventeen-race series that commenced on 26 March and ended on 12 November. Michael Schumacher won his second consecutive Drivers' Championship, and Benetton won the Constructors' Championship, the first and only Constructors' title for the Benetton team. Schumacher won nine races en route to the championship, equalling the record set by Nigel Mansell in 1992. He also continued his rivalry with Williams-Renault driver Damon Hill, including collisions at the British and Italian Grands Prix. Both those races were won by Schumacher's teammate Johnny Herbert, taking his first two F1 victories. Hill's Williams teammate, David Coulthard, claimed his first victory in Portugal, while Ferrari's Jean Alesi achieved his only F1 victory in Canada. Just like Honda in 1988, Renault engines won all but one race in this season. 1995 was also the last season in which the numbering system introduced in 1974 was used. From 1996 car numbers would generally be allocated based on the Constructors' Championship order of the previous season. This was also the first season of new 3 litre engine Formula and last season in which a V12 engine would race in Formula One. Ferrari, the only team racing with V12 in 1995, would switch to using a V10 engine for 1996. This was also the last season during which 1992 champion Nigel Mansell competed as he left the sport once more after a shambolic short-lived two-race stint with McLaren which saw him initially unable to fit comfortably in the Woking team's MP4-10 car during pre-season requiring a wider cockpit to be built to suit Mansell which in turn delayed his debut for the team until the third round of the season at Imola before quitting the team after struggling further at the following round in Spain. Mansell would never race in the sport again thereafter.https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/car-that-ended-nigel-mansell-f1-career/4792139/ The car that ended Nigel Mansell’s F1 career 17 June 2026 Motorsport.com 17 June 2026Reflections on Mansell: The Final Curtain? https://www.atlasf1.com/99/jan13/horton.html Atlasf1.com This was also the first season featuring 17 races since 1977.

When Martin Brundle signed with them for 1995, rumours spread that Tom Walkinshaw would take up the function of team boss, since Brundle and Walkinshaw had many successful collaborations in the past. Walkinshaw worked for Benetton in 1994 as Engineering Director 1995 Grands Prix: Brazilian Grand Prix Henry Alan Alan Henry Autocourse 1995–96 https://archive.org/details/autocourseworlds0000unse/ Hazleton Publishing 1-874557-36-5 87 1995 registration), but when that team was found to use an illegal fuel filter at the German Grand Prix, they were let off the hook, after promising to fire Walkinshaw and implementing major changes within the team. On the side of Benetton, this deal was negotiated by Flavio Briatore. However, since he was also the owner of Ligier, it seemed more like a promotion for Walkinshaw, albeit with a smaller team."Brundle returns to Ligier" GrandPrix.

Aerodynamically, it's as close as we can make it to being the same. I don't know how you would end up with anything else if you take a core of engineers who have been working on the Benetton. Of course the damn thing looks the same. But if you go into the detail of the car, there is nothing interchangeable.

The contract with Ford was taken up by Sauber and they parted ways with long time partner Mercedes-Benz. McLaren then offered a new home for the Mercedes engine supplier, ending their relationship with Peugeot after just one season. Jordan took on the Peugeot engine deal, replacing their Hart contract. And so, finally, the Hart company moved teams to Footwork Arrows. After four years as an independent engine supplier, Ilmor eventually shifted focus to trusted engine designer, builder, assembler and tuner to Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines despite the partnership started from 1994 season onwards. Pacific Racing replaced their 1993-spec Ilmor engines for customer Ford EDC engines. Minardi had been expected to run with Mugen-Honda engines, but at the last minute, Ligier boss Flavio Briatore persuaded the Japanese engine supplier to supply his team, leaving Minardi in a mess. Their M195 was designed for the Mugen-Honda V10 and parts were already being made. The team then had to work flat out to build a brand new car with a Ford ED engine, tuned by Magneti Marelli. Team owner Giancarlo Minardi announced he was taking legal action against the Japanese supplier."Minardi takes legal action against Mugen Honda" GrandPrix. Retrieved 10 March 2007 The Simtek team went bankrupt on 1 June, after the fifth race of the season. Driver changes thumb|Nigel Mansell retired from Formula One after 15 seasons. On 28 October 1994, Ligier issued a press release stating that Olivier Panis and Johnny Herbert were going to be their official drivers for all of the 1995 season. However, at the end of January, they announced that Herbert was no longer at the team, joining Benetton instead, and that Aguri Suzuki and Martin Brundle would share the second seat. The announcement came as a big shock to Suzuki and his Japanese backers, who believed he had secured the Ligier seat for the whole season. During his "off" races, Brundle joined veteran commentator Murray Walker in the BBC commentary box. They later became commentators for ITV, after Brundle retired from F1 in 1996, and Brundle is now working for Sky Sports F1 alongside David Croft. After Ayrton Senna's passing, his seat at Williams had alternated between Nigel Mansell and David Coulthard. Mansell left the team at the beginning of January and Coulthard was offered a full-time drive."Mansell en route to McLaren" GrandPrix. Retrieved 10 March 2007 Mika Salo replaced Mark Blundell at Tyrrell, with Gabriele Tarquini now the team's test driver. Before being confirmed as race driver, Salo was involved in a contract dispute with the Pacific team. He had raced for Team Lotus in 1994 and was thought to be free when the team withdrew, until new owner David Hunt coupled the name with the Pacific team and insisted Salo was obliged to race for them. The Contract Recognition Board lawyers and Tyrrell representatives were astounded by Hunt, but announced on 13 February that it had ruled in favour of Tyrrell, because the Team Lotus which Salo had signed for was not the same Team Lotus which now claimed his services."Pacific loses Salo" GrandPrix.

His deal was also dropped from $15 million to $10 million because Marlboro refused to pay his asking price."McLaren confirms Mansell" GrandPrix.

Going into the Monaco Grand Prix, McLaren replaced Nigel Mansell with test driver Mark Blundell. At the same time, Karl Wendlinger's seat at Sauber was given to Williams test driver and reigning International Formula 3000 champion Jean-Christophe Boullion. From the British Grand Prix on, Footwork replaced Gianni Morbidelli with International Formula 3000 driver Massimiliano Papis, citing sponsorship reasons. Morbidelli would eventually return for the final three races of the season. Before that same weekend, Bertrand Gachot stepped away from driving duties with Pacific. The seat was temporarily filled by Giovanni Lavaggi and Jean-Denis Delétraz. The team tried to hire Katsumi Yamamoto and Oliver Gavin, but they were not granted their Super Licences, and Gachot returned for the last three races. Minardi replaced Pierluigi Martini with Pedro Lamy from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards. After having done two years of touring car racing, Gabriele Tarquini made a one-off return to F1 when he filled in for Ukyo Katayama at the European Grand Prix, as the Japanese was still recovering from neck injuries and severe bruising sustained during a crash at the previous round in Portugal. Jan Magnussen was promoted from test driver at McLaren to replace Mika Häkkinen for the Pacific Grand Prix, due to the Finn suffering from appendicitis.

The circuit was due to begin the season on 12 March, but there were doubts over whether the circuit would be ready in time. The Second race in Japan on 16 April was also under threat, as the TI Circuit was badly affected after the Great Hanshin earthquake, which damaged local infrastructure. The San Marino round, Spanish round and the Italian round required safety upgrades. The Circuit de Catalunya was also in financial difficulty. On 6 February, a revised calendar was announced. However, some tracks still needed clearance to race."Formula 1 calendar rethink" GrandPrix.

It gave the honor of being the season opener to Brazil. The Pacific round was pushed back due to the earthquake, placing it just one week before the Japanese Grand Prix. The European Grand Prix was moved forward seven days, leading to another space in the schedule of just one week. Calendar changes The Argentine Grand Prix returned after a fourteen-year absence.

A 10 mm thick skid block made of impregnated wood was affixed to the underside of every car and was permitted to wear by up to only 1 mm. This was done to force an increase in ride height and thus reduce ground effect advantages.

Power The allowed engine capacity was reduced to 3 litres (down from 3.5 litres) and the description for the type of fuel that was allowed was stringently specified, to reach an approximate 100 BHP reduction in power. Aerodynamics The cars' ride height was raised by 50 mm. The flat-bottomed undertray which was made mandatory in 1983 was to now feature a large "stepped" section underneath each sidepod, raised about an inch higher and parallel to the wooden plank originally introduced in 1994. The rear wing could not extend more than 80 cm on above the "reference plane" (bottom of the car) - this used to be 95 cm on. The front wing had to be at least 50 mm on above the bottom of the car, up from 40 mm on. The maximum width of the rear diffuser was brought down from 100 cm on to 30 cm on. The exclusion zones above the front and rear wheels, in which no wings or other body parts with aerodynamic influence could be placed, were extended. All aerodynamic changes summed up were expected to reduce downforce by 30–40%. Safety and other Cars had to have impact absorbing side structures, which would have to undergo impact tests. Frontal crash tests were now performed at 12 m/s on instead of 11 m/s on. Cockpit openings had to be larger and feature better headrest installations. The survival cell had to extend higher alongside the driver. The minimum weight of the cars was increased from 515 kg to 525 kg to account for the new safety measures, and then increased to 595 kg to include the driver. Prior to the first session of the season, all of the drivers were weighed to establish a reference weight, to be used on occasions when the two were weighed separately, or if the driver was unavailable to be weighed. As such, a small competitive advantage could be established if the driver attempted to register a weight as heavy as possible before the season and then getting their weight down to lower the total weight of the car on track. Other changes Due to the demise of the Lotus team following the end of the 1994 season, the grid was reduced to 13 teams and 26 cars at the start of season - the same number as the maximum number of cars permitted to start a race. Therefore, every driver entered for a Grand Prix would be guaranteed a slot on the grid, with any withdrawals classed as non-starts rather than non-qualifications.

Third place was contested by Mika Salo in the Tyrrell until he spun on lap 39, suffering from cramp in his hand, and was overtaken by Mika Häkkinen in the McLaren and the Ferraris of Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi.

This division between car and driver was met with criticism. For the second race in Argentina, Coulthard achieved pole position, the first of his career, with Hill and Schumacher behind him.Henry Alan Alan Henry 1995 Autocourse 1995-96 https://archive.org/details/autocourseworlds0000unse/ Hazleton Publishing 1995 Grands Prix: Argentine Grand Prix 102–103 1-874557-36-5 registration The start saw collisions between eight drivers and the race was suspended. On lap six of the restarted race, Coulthard's throttle failed, allowing Schumacher and Hill past, and leading to the Scot's retirement shortly after. During the pit stops, Hill grabbed the lead and Alesi took second place. Schumacher finished third. Before the race in San Marino, it was Benetton's Michael Schumacher on pole position for the first time this season. Berger started second, much to the joy of the local tifosi. Hill started in fourth. Light rain was falling and teams faced a difficult choice in tyres. The first five drivers on the grid started on rain tyres and, after the start, were five seconds per lap quicker than the rest of the field. Rubens Barrichello, the only other driver on wet tyres, started in tenth in his Jordan and quickly got up to sixth. Things turned out in the pit stops: Schumacher crashed, coming out on his cold tyres, and Berger's car stalled, giving the lead to Damon Hill. Coulthard and Alesi fought hard over then-second place, but the over-eager Williams driver exceeded the pit lane speed limit and had to undertake a 10-second stop-go penalties. The podium order was Hill, Alesi, Berger. In Spain, it was Schumacher on pole for the second time and he led from start to finish. On the last lap, Hill was in second, but when he suffered from a hydraulic problem, he crawled across the line in fourth. This allowed Schumacher's teammate Johnny Herbert through to second place, his first ever podium. Berger finished third, while Alesi and Coulthard retired. After four races, Schumacher in the Benetton led the Drivers' Championship with 24 points, just one ahead of Hill in the Williams. Alesi and Berger in the Ferrari followed with 14 and 13 points, respectively. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari (27) led Williams (26) and Benetton (23).

This was the last race for the Simtek team, who withdrew from the championship because they ran out of budget. thumb|right|Jean Alesi (Ferrari won the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix In Canada, Michael Schumacher achieved pole position, the 100th for a Renault-powered F1 car, Edwards, Ben (Commentator) 11 June 1995 Canadian Grand Prix: Warm-Up Session Live Television production Eurosport London, England 01:09–01:15 (excluding commercials) and led away comfortably, until on lap 57, an electrical problem forced him into the pits.

Jean Alesi went on to win the race on his 31st birthday. This would be his only career victory and also marked the last time to date that a car with a V12 engine won. After several other front-runners encountered problems late in the race, the Jordans of Rubens Barrichello and Eddie Irvine completed the surprising podium. Just like in Monaco, Hill started on pole position in France, but lost out to second-starting Schumacher during the pit stops.

Damon Hill had achieved pole position once again, but this time, spun off on the second lap as a result of driveshaft failure. David Coulthard finished second, Gerhard Berger was third, recovering from a 10-second stop-go penalty for jumping the start. The 1995 Hungarian Grand Prix was a grand slam for Damon Hill: he won from pole position and set the fastest lap. Coulthard finished second and Berger third. Michael Schumacher was classified three laps down, suffering from fuel pump issues. During the race, Taki Inoue had his second coming together with the safety car.

It was closer at the front of the Constructors' Championship, with Benetton and Williams separated by just six points (74 and 68, respectively), followed by Ferrari with 57. Rounds 11 to 14 Qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix took place in varying weather conditions and championship rivals Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill could only achieve sixteenth and eighth place on the grid, respectively. Ferrari's Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi blocked out on the front row, but both retired during the race. Schumacher's teammate Johnny Herbert briefly led the race, but struggled for pace on the drying track. Hill took the lead after his teammate David Coulthard retired with gearbox issues, but then, as it was seen at least three times during the season already, Schumacher passed him during the round of pit stops. The story did not end there, however: the rain arrived and Hill made a second pit stop for rain tyres, while Schumacher tried to brave it out, at one point lapping six seconds slower than his rival. To make matters worse, he went off the track and the Williams took the lead until the rain stopped, the track dried, and the Benetton was back on top. When the safety car came out, the playing field was levelled and Schumacher led away from Hill, both on wet tyres. It looked like a thrilling battle to come, until the Brit was served a 10-second stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane. He did recover to second place, but finished far behind the German. Martin Brundle came home in a surprising third position.

However, when the race was suspended after a first-lap collision in the same corner, with the track being blocked by four stranded cars, Coulthard was able to take the restart in a spare car, on pole position. Michael Schumacher and Gerhard Berger started behind him. On lap 13, Coulthard retired again, this time with a wheel bearing failure, and Schumacher crashed out when he was hit in the back by championship rival Damon Hill. After the incident, reminiscent of the one at Silverstone, Schumacher was furious with Hill, but calmed down when learning that the Brit had had to take evasive action when lapping Taki Inoue. The Ferraris were running 1–2 on home soil, until a TV camera on Alesi's rear wing fell off and destroyed Berger's suspension. With eight laps to go, the Frenchman also retired and handed a second victory to Benetton's Johnny Herbert. Mika Häkkinen (McLaren) and Heinz-Harald Frentzen (Sauber) achieved their best results yet in second and third, respectively.

After being extracted from the car, he was hospitalised for two days, suffering from a strained neck and bruising in several places.https://www.newspapers.com/image/122909723 27 Sep 1995, Page 37 - The Age at Newspapers.com 2016-08-16Autocourse 1995–96 https://archive.org/details/autocourseworlds0000unse/ Henry Alan December 1995 Hazleton Publishing 1-874557-36-5 194 1995 Grands Prix: Portuguese Grand Prix Alan Henry 1995 registrationhttp://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns00310.html Tyrrell drive up for grabs 1995-10-02 Inside F1 GrandPrix.com 2019-08-18 The European Grand Prix was held at the Nürburgring and saw Coulthard start on pole, ahead of teammate Damon Hill and championship leader Michael Schumacher. Coulthard did start in the spare car, however, after stalling his engine during his reconnaissance lap. Many teams decided to start on rain tyres, but Ferrari and McLaren switched to dries after the first start was abandoned. This only turned out to be the right decision after seventeen laps, when most other drivers had pitted. Schumacher and Hill battled again, switching positions several times, while Coulthard suffered from excessive oversteer and fell behind them. Meanwhile, Alesi was in the lead and extended his advantage to 45 seconds. During the second round of pit stops, however, he collided with Hill and had to pit for repairs. Berger retired with engine problems and Hill crashed out on lap 58. Schumacher passed Alesi for the lead, two laps from the end, and Coulthard completed the podium.Henry, 1995 Grands Prix: Grand Prix of Europe, p. 206–207http://www.formula1.com/results/driver/1995/11.html 1995 > Coulthard, David The Official Formula 1 Website 31 January 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090120204610/http://formula1.com/results/driver/1995/11.html 20 January 2009 deadhttp://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr578.html Grand Prix Results: European GP, 1995 GrandPrix.com Inside F1 27 January 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20081105090504/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr578.html 5 November 2008 live With three races to go, Schumacher was leading the Drivers' Championship, 27 points ahead of Hill. This meant that the Williams driver needed to win all remaining races, with his Benetton rival scoring less than three points. In the Constructors' Championship, Benetton was leading Williams with 112 over 92 points. Rounds 15 to 17 The F1 circus landed in Japan for two races, the first one dubbed the Pacific Grand Prix. Williams driver David Coulthard achieved his fourth pole position in a row, ahead of teammate Damon Hill and championship leader Michael Schumacher in his Benetton. At the start, fourth-starting Jean Alesi got up to second place. After Schumacher overtook Hill and Alesi during the first round of pit stops, he closed in on the leader and lapped consistently faster, so that the German just came out in front after all pit stops were made. 1995 Grands Prix: Pacific Grand Prix Henry Alan Alan Henry Autocourse 1995–96 https://archive.org/details/autocourseworlds0000unse/ 1995 Hazleton Publishing 1-874557-36-5 214–215 December 1995 registration Scoring his eighth victory of the season and gaining enough points to make it impossible for Hill to catch him, the Schumi was crowned the 1995 Drivers' Champion. He was the youngest double Drivers' Champion up to that point (his record was subsequently surpassed by Sebastian Vettel). Schumacher did not settle down: he started on pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix. The Williams cars could not match the pace and made room for Jean Alesi and Mika Häkkinen in the top three on the grid. All drivers started on rain tyres, as it had rained in the morning and the track was damp, but it did not stop the champion from leading away. Both Ferraris were judged to have jumped the start and served a 10-second stop-go penalty. But Alesi was the first to switch to dry tyres and began making his way through the field. On lap 25, he was only six seconds behind leader Schumacher, when he had to retire with a driveshaft failure. When the rain arrived, but only on one edge of the circuit, teammates Hill and Coulthard crashed out in the same corner, one lap after each other. http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr580.html GrandPrix.com Inside F1 Grand Prix Results: Japanese GP, 1995 2 March 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080203031549/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr580.html 3 February 2008 live Schumacher won and his teammate Johnny Herbert came home in third, earning Benetton the 1995 Constructors' Champions.
